Very hard to believe but enjoyable.

In this installment of "Four Star Playhouse", Charles Boyer stars as Paul--a famous director of plays. When the show begins, Paul is leaving a poker game and wants to find a cab home. After all, although he is fond of walking, it's raining outside. However, on the way out he notices a young woman about to jump off a bridge! Paul is a very decent man and decides to help Amy. However, what happens next is a bit strange and it involves counterfeit stage money as well as a job with the acting troop.

As usual, Boyer is wonderful in his role. He seems very natural and you like the guy he plays. The story is very interesting and the twist also very interesting. Believable? Not for a second...but very enjoyable. And what's not to believe? Well, I'd rather not say as it would spoil the episode.
